Hubert wants to buy a car tire that has a full price of$245 plus an 8% sales tax. Which is the better offer, a 15%-off sale or a

$245 + 19.60 = 264.60$
$264.60 - 39.69 = 224.91$
$264.60 - 25.00 = 239.60$
The 15% off sale is better because you save $14.69 more than with the $25 coupon.

Grace [21]

Answer:

The dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

$Area = 128$

Let the dimension of the paper be x and y;

Such that:

$Length = x$

$Width = y$

So:

$Area = x * y$

Substitute 128 for Area

$128 = x * y$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

When 1 inch margin is at top and bottom

The length becomes:

$Length = x + 1 + 1$

$Length = x + 2$

When 2 inch margin is at both sides

The width becomes:

$Width = y + 2 + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

The New Area (A) is then calculated as:

$A = (x + 2) * (y + 4)$

Substitute $\frac{128}{y}$ for x

$A = (\frac{128}{y} + 2) * (y + 4)$

Open Brackets

$A = 128 + \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8$

Collect Like Terms

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8+128$

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 136$

$A= 512y^{-1} + 2y + 136$

To calculate the smallest possible value of y, we have to apply calculus.

Different A with respect to y

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Set

$A' = 0$

This gives:

$0 = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Collect Like Terms

$512y^{-2} = 2$

Multiply through by $y^2$

$y^2 * 512y^{-2} = 2 * y^2$

$512 = 2y^2$

Divide through by 2

$256=y^2$

Take square roots of both sides

$\sqrt{256=y^2$

$16=y$

$y = 16$

Recall that:

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

$x = \frac{128}{16}$

$x = 8$

Recall that the new dimensions are:

$Length = x + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

So:

$Length = 8 + 2$

$Length = 10$

$Width = 16 + 4$

$Width = 20$

To double-check;

Differentiate A'

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

$A" = -2 * -512y^{-3}$

$A" = 1024y^{-3}$

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3}$

The above value is:

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3} > 0$

This means that the calculated values are at minimum.

<em>Hence, the dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches</em>

The average annual costs for owning two different refrigerators for x years is given by the two functions: f(x) = 850 + 62x /x a

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

In the long run cost of the refrigerator g(x) will be cheaper.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average annual cost for owning two different refrigerators for x years is given by two functions

f(x) = $\frac{850+62x}{x}$

= $\frac{850}{x}+62$

and g(x) = $\frac{1004+51x}{x}$

= $\frac{1004}{x}+51$

If we equate these functions f(x) and g(x), value of x (time in years) will be the time by which the cost of the refrigerators will be equal.

At x = 1 year

f(1) = 850 + 62 = $912

g(1) = 1004 + 51 = $1055

So initially f(x) will be cheaper.

For f(x) = g(x)

$\frac{850}{x}+62$ = $\frac{1004}{x}+51$

$\frac{1004}{x}-\frac{850}{x}=1004-850$

$\frac{154}{x}=11$

x = $\frac{154}{11}=14$

Now f(15) = 56.67 + 62 = $118.67

and g(x) = 66.93 + 51 = $117.93

So g(x) will be cheaper than f(x) after 14 years.

This tells below 14 years f(x) will be less g(x) but after 14 years cost g(x) will be cheaper than f(x).

15 kilograms of rice are separated equally into 4 containers. How many kilograms of rice are in each container? Express your ans

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer: Fraction= 3 3/4kg

Decimal= 3.75kg

Step-by-step explanation:

15 kilograms of rice are separated equally into 4 containers. To get the number of kilograms of rice are in each container, we divide the total kilograms of rice by the number of containers. This will be:

Kilograms of rice in each container=

15/4 =3 3/4kg as a fraction.

To convert the fraction to decimal, we divide 3 by 4 and add to 3. 3/4 equals 0.75. We then add 3 to 0.75. This will be:

Decimal of 3 3/4 = 3+0.75 = 3.75kg
